The Taoiseach is on a road trip around Munster to campaign for a Yes vote in the plebiscites on directly elected Mayors in Cork, Limerick and Waterford. 

It's also being used as a chance for Leo Varadkar to campaign in those cities ahead of the local and European elections.  

But the government didn't get the warmest of receptions in Cork yesterday with multiple protests at events the Taoiseach attended. 

Our Political Correspondent Seán Defoe has more from the campaign trail.
